What's likely the edit is normal photoshop work. Assuming that any competent photographer puts every photo through PS or similar then the fact that it has been in PS gives no new information.


Now those you can tell are real. I've swum with sharks just like those!

Why don't you attack someone with a definite position?

I feel the photo is likely edited due to history. There are many many many propaganda photos out there. Though the blast photo was brought in to the discussion to reinforce the possibility that the photo is real, I think it does far more to discredit it. If it was a poker hand, I would bet this assertion with about 60% confidence. Not very much really. I'm just trying to be fair. I don't think anyone could know at this point without personally interviewing someone who was there. I don't trust the news sources as they are conflicting on where this is, who is being bombed, and who is doing the bombing.

I think the comments about how people can't react so fast, are looking the wrong way, the apparent size of the bomb, etc. are retarded. Fight with them.

P.S. Just because semantic arguments piss me off.. this is technically a missile. It is more specifically a bomb. It is not a ROCKET.

The photo is doctored. The people are real and thier town got bombed to s**t by Israel, and a bomb did blow up the orphanage or hospital just below the photochopped bomb. However, the light and shadow on the bomb is wrong, and the scale is wrong, and the bomb itself has jpeg artifacts of a larger scale than anything else in the picture.

Also, you can't assume the photographer photochpped it, he found it on 4chan for crissake. DARRR!

Not a definitive answer, but looks fairly uniform

Worthless tool.

I uploaded unedited, edited, and heavily edited photos to this tool. Perhaps a highly trained person could discern something from this, but I doubt even that. This seems like someone's fancy. Perhaps they like duping people.

You can get the same effect with the Glowing Edges filter in PS. Neither make any edits stand out. You are better off looking for edits by adjusting brightness, contrast, and color balance.

No it's not.
No it's not. No way you can tell. The bomb is not occluded by anything, so there is no way you can judge its scale in the sky in a 2D image.
Not necessarily.

Stories are regurgitated from one media outlet to another. They just chew eachothers cud and post it up for everybody else to swallow. There's very little real investigative reporting these days. Just reporting of American Idol and gossip, along with re-spewed trash.

There were many instances of the Palestinians propagandizing the war they had.

It's just like the chinese photochopping their fireworks.

....yeah but you're commenting on an article from The Times.

Do you?

A bomb is a missile by definition. A missile does not have to be a bomb. A missile could be a almost anything.

not to mention it's highly possible for a bomb, or unguided missle for the schmuck, to have a higher speed at the point of impact.

It's a fairly common illusion. It's really interesting because in photographs it doesn't look any bigger, only in person. There is still no definitive scientific explanation for the effect.

The illusion of different sized objects which are actually the same size works on paper (photographs) as well. The actual perceptual mechanism may be slightly different, but the effect of the illusion is the same. This illusion may be occurring in this photo to some extent. Many people here and elsewhere have commented that the bomb appears to be larger than what they perceive it should. The effect is lessoned in the photo from the second photographer which is from slightly farther away.

It may also be to to the false perception that the bomb is aimed at the buildings in the background, therefore the same distance as the buildings, and therefore enormous.

Looks like a Paveway III by the way, modified with smaller fins to fit in the F-117 and later sold to Israel (as the caption states, this is an Israeli attack)

Just stop trying to sound like you know what you're talking about. Your pitiful internet education cannot help you here. Just accept that you are wrong, and stop embarrassing yourself. Everyone knows this.

a gravity bomb can only approach and reach it's terminal velocity.

a powered missle can exceed the terminal velocity many fold.
